Who is responsible for your information
Stella Beever Counselling is responsible for personal information collected through this website.
Email: hello@stellabeever.co.uk
Location: Tiverton, Mid Devon, United Kingdom
Information you may provide
If you contact Stella by email, telephone or through the website form, you may provide your name, email address, telephone number, the contents of your message and any other information you choose to share.
Please avoid including detailed medical information or anything highly sensitive in the website contact form. The form is intended for initial enquiries, not urgent or crisis support.
How your information is used
Your information may be used to respond to your enquiry, arrange an introductory conversation or counselling appointment, provide requested information, maintain appropriate administrative and professional records, and meet legal, safeguarding or professional obligations where applicable.
The usual lawful basis for responding to an enquiry is taking steps at your request before entering into a counselling agreement. Other information may be processed where there is a legitimate interest, legal obligation or another lawful basis under UK data-protection law.
Website contact form
The contact form asks for your name, email address and message. Submissions are sent to hello@stellabeever.co.uk using WPForms. The information is used only to respond to your enquiry and for related administration. It is not sold or used for unrelated marketing.
How long information is kept
Enquiry information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, manage any resulting counselling relationship and meet relevant legal or professional obligations. Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted or anonymised.
Sharing your information
Personal information is not sold. It may be processed by trusted service providers supporting the website, hosting or email service. Information may also be disclosed where required by law, to protect somebody from serious harm, or to meet safeguarding and professional obligations. Where possible and appropriate, this would be discussed with you first.
Cookies and technical information
The website may use essential cookies required for WordPress, security and basic operation. Additional analytics or marketing cookies should not be used without an appropriate notice and choice mechanism. The hosting service may record limited technical information, such as an IP address, browser type, requested page and time of access, for security and operational purposes.
Security
Reasonable measures are used to protect personal information, although no website or email service can guarantee absolute security. Please telephone if you would prefer not to include personal information in an online message.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights to request a copy of your information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, restrict or object to certain uses, and request data portability.
To exercise a right or ask a privacy question, email hello@stellabeever.co.uk. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office or call 0303 123 1113.
